i have to say, Matrix reloaded was amazing! i think twas betta than the original. wot do u think?

stripes · 25th May 2003, 06:21 PM

I think the same thing. Reloaded was better, bigger action, bigger and better effects, more entertaining.

The thing I found interesting was that while after seeing the Matrix for the first time, I walked out of the theater feeling as if my brain were fried, this time I was exhilirated!

Reloaded was awesome! Much more action,etc. But I did miss all of the philosophy that was in The Matrix. There was very little of that in Reloaded.

Very little philosophy in Reloaded??? hehe it is very very deep exploring concepts of free will/choice and so many other issues and introduces concepts of how we can trust things implicitly (such as "The Oracle and Prophecy" and even us as audience believing everything said in first movie which may be a lie..)

However as good as I think Reloaded is, it does not beat The Matrix as a flawless, perfect film. There is NOTHING wrong with th Matrix in every aspect while there are flaws inherent in Reloaded...

it would take me another couple of watchings for me to find the flaws

it's so good, i didn't actually notice any flaws or mistakes

I can't choose. Both rocked, of course. But both also amazed me and challenged me to think. The effects in Reloaded were, of course, better and bigger, but when I saw bullet time for the first time, I was blown away. The surprises in the storyline were ultra refreshing, especially in 1999, and I loved the "look" of the film.

Both compelled me to return to the theater several times.

So I just can't choose between them.

i've been twice to see Reloaded, if i go again, i may have to sell a body part to fund it

not that i wouldn't.......the need is too much to cope with

While I enjoyed Reloaded, I have to say, that for the total package and its impact, the Matrix wins with me.

I liken it to bicycle riding. You may go new places and see great and exciting things, but you never forget that first wonderful ride!

Know what I mean? :naughty:

Indeed I do bkitty...but this is not my reason for preferring Matrix over Reloaded...

I did take into account it could never be as original as first one...

in the action, ironically, it was some of action bits which were way too CGI-ish that failed for me

Jessa · 4th June 2003, 08:00 PM

i have to say, although my loyalty to Reloaded is unbreakable, the Matrix made u think and question things, reloaded is more actiony and romantic..........not that thats a bad thing to course, me being a T & N shipper and all
